the person yelling at the end was Mr. Wesley during the attack of the burrow, not sure if anyone else said i just scimmed through them to see if anyone talked about Snape... Not alot have said anything about Snape... i LOVE Snape and we actually get to see him casting the killing curse and his facial expression is perfect.. STop at 1.35 and see for yourself, he clearlly looks like he wants to cry

OMG!!!!!!!!! that was the best trailer so far!!!!!!! cant wait to go see twilight AND see a trailer for HBP!

TomRiddle, Thanks for the info about Luna and Harry. In a way it makes sense using the glasses. As for MuggleinNM, Thanks for telling what the trailer was saying, and i live in a major city so of course they do have open captioned movies. However the bad part is i have to wait 2 to 3 weeks after it comes out for the movie to be made into closed captioned. So i have to suffer. :-( but i will be going with a big group of my Deaf friends and ive waited this long so another 2 to 3 weeks won't kill me! So i wont be reading any Harry Potter websites the day it comes out until i have seen the movie first. I know you all will spoil it for me! :-P That will be the hardest part since i check Mugglenet everyday!

omg! This trailer was SO amazing! It was the best one ever made! I am so excited for this movie! WHY WB WHY did you have to move it till july!!! We should be watching it next friday!! :( I cant wait till july!!


Posted by robbyrabbit06 Nov 15th 2008

if you think about it, not long after they said about moving the movie to next yr they said that the movie was only like 60% done and YES it might have been able to be completed but theres a chance that the rushing could have screwed the entire movie and this way they have more time to make an epic movie, which this trailer truely shows. I rather wait till July than see a rushed piece of "youknowwhat", how about yall?


Posted by Hebridean Nov 15th 2008

Oh my GOD! Hermione actually looks RIGHT for once! The entire movie looks like it's going to be pretty close to how I imagined it - and the cave sequence! Wow! I'm so excited! (I'd be more excited if I was seeing it on Friday, though. Thanks for that jab, WB)


Posted by bluebrando Nov 15th 2008

Um, I didn't look through every single comment, but I did read a couple pages and no one mentioned the fact that Dumbledore and Harry APPARATE on Hogwarts grounds, which is not possible. wtf. Other than that it looks awesome. I'm still a tad apprehensive about this new made up attack on the Burrow junk. But I have high hopes it will all tie in.


Posted by freshing Nov 15th 2008

wowwwwwwwwwwww every trailer they realease look more amazing, this one is fantastic, u really think this movie is gonna be the best of them all, expcept for the "attack to the burrow" it seems like most of the book is there and thats fu..... great


Posted by kula_melike Nov 15th 2008

WOW! OMFG! I cannot believe how good this trailer is. I almost cry, especially after seeing Hermione crying and Snape casting the Avada Kedavra curse. Ron is so HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait, darn WB, making us wait this long. When is July going to be here? Tmr? Imagine if the movie were to actually come out on the 21st instead of in July? I'm so excited about this movie, and this is all I want to talk about. And the funny thing is, my soccer coach awarded me for BEST WIZARDY. And I thought this was perfect because I come back to my dorm and I come across the new trailer! SO PERFECT! I'm Deaf too, and I wish I could understand everything they said in the trailer. Big thanks to G_Wizzle for the words, you're not only helping one person you're helping loads of people!


Posted by PottyforPotter Nov 15th 2008

OH MY GOSH! I LOVE the trailer! I'm sad that it's with Twilight though... I hated the books. So I've got mixed feelings about this - The Harry Potter trailer (which is PURE AWESOMENESS) is going to be with it, but I don't really want to pay to see Twilight... Ugh! =\


Posted by robbyrabbit06 Nov 15th 2008

bluebrando -Dumbledore and Harry APPARATE on Hogwarts grounds, which is not possible. Actually so far none of these movies have even mentioned that you cant apparete on the schools grounds so appareting into the school grounds is possible. But the readers alrdy know that its not literally possible, this is a movie theres going to be differences so get over it alrdy.


Posted by chameleondawn Nov 15th 2008

FanTABulous!!! Makes me wanna watch it about a brazillion more times and then run out an get an HP tattoo!! love it..love it..love it!!


Posted by sesaru Nov 16th 2008

Friking awesome !!!! Loved it. Teared my heart apart that fast shot with Hermione crying...


Posted by x911emergencyy Nov 16th 2008

I'm still trying to figure out what's with Hermione's hair in Slughorn's classroom.


Posted by geovens Nov 16th 2008

to G_wizzle and muggleinNM you indeed helped me. greet thanks.


Posted by merrymarge Nov 16th 2008

I finally got to see the trailer on youtube. I watched it twice and I still didn't see Snape kill Dumbledore. Will have to watch again. We know Harry's line " Come back and fight you coward", but does Snape scream back, "Don't call me coward?" What's the point of having the one line and not the other? I thought Twilight was a Warner Brothers' movie and that was why the HBP trailer was linked to it. But apparently not. I still think the HBP movie was moved just for the Twilight movie. This might not be true, but it's too much of a coincidence to think otherwise.


Posted by lovelunalovegood Nov 16th 2008

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! so awsome i can't belive they moved it till july!!!!!!!!!!! ugh


Posted by Padfoot777 Nov 16th 2008

Robbyrabbit, yeah, I noticed he wanted to cry (I went through the trailer scene by scene), I'm not the kind of person that gets teary during movies or anything, but I think I am going to cry in this one, and Deathly Hallows if it's up to this standard.


Posted by rigOrtOrtOise Nov 16th 2008

Where's a time turner when you need one? Although, It HAS been moved to my birthday, and I know what I'll be getting.....


Posted by She_Who_Must_Not_Be_Named1 Nov 16th 2008

Did anyone see hagrids hut being blown up or was I seeing things? You do realize that means that they're going to be battling at hogwarts right?

Posted by phoenixknighter Nov 16th 2008

Actually NO She_Who_Must_Not_Be_Named 1 , there WON'T be any Battle of Hogwarts... what makes this movie SO much like a Tragedy is that the directory Emphasizes on the guerilla attacks and terrorism by the Death Eaters... The Bridge Attack, Infiltration and Kidnap of Ollivander, Attack on the Burrow, and Dumbledore's Death and Rampage at Hogwarts will aLL be in the movie... the Death Eaters won't fight the people at Hogwarts.. while they are asleep the Death Eaters are attacking every like the Great Hall, Hagrid's Hut, etc. I'm sure that by the time Hagrid comes out of the Burrow they are already gone... Only HArry Potter is aware of this and pursues Snape.. which makes it more as a tragedy as it symbolizes Harry's solitary mission now that DD is dead. The only REAL battle is the Burrow attack.

HermioneluvsRon4E, kula_melike, geovens: you're very welcome! I had a lot of time on my hands and thought that I should write it up. I realized I helped like seven people on here and for some the trailer links didn't work (including me) and I had to put up a link to youtube. So big thanks to Potterrrrr for uploading it. THIS TRAILER IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!! and I'm sooo excited for the movie!!!


Posted by slytherin_vix_88 Nov 16th 2008

OH. MY. GOD! how brilliantly amazing does this film look???? cant. wait. that. long... Mr. Felton is looking hot too! Wow to the trailer! The film comes out on my 21st birthday, woo! aaaarrrrgggghhhh i cant believe we have to wait so long!


Posted by Madam_Marshs_Biggest_Fan Nov 16th 2008

that was amazing. lets hope the actual movie is this good


Posted by Ishi Nov 16th 2008

That's sad that you have to wait so long for the movie. But think positively - you were at least able to read every book when it came out. In out country only people that really understands English a lot can read it the moment it comes out. All the others must wait 6-10 months for the translation. :) And in this time everyone gets spoiled. I had to wait soo long, when I was younger, luckily I could read the last two books in English, but still didn't understand many parts and was happy to understand it fully when the translation in my native language came out. :)


Posted by Ishi Nov 16th 2008

Oh that comment was ment for HermioneluvsRon4E. Forgot to write that. xD


Posted by soren121 Nov 16th 2008

:O WOOT! Go Warner Brothers! :D


Posted by smashley63945 Nov 16th 2008

OMGGGGGGGGGGI LUV THIS UGH I ABSOLUTELY HATE TWILIGHT!!! OMG MY FAVORITE PART OF ALL IS AT 1:32!!! WHEN HARRY AND GINNY ALMOST KISS CULDNT THYE JUST ADD A FEW MORE SECONDS TO THAT SCENE IN THE TRAILER!!!!! I HAV IT ON MY IPOD AND I SMILE LIKE A FREAKIN IDIOT!. AND WHEN I FIRST WATCHED IT AND WAS DONE I SCREAMED AND RAN AROUND THE HOUSE!!


Posted by HermioneluvsRon4E Nov 16th 2008

Ishi, OH, that isnt good that you had to wait THAT long for the books to come out. Your english is very good! Actually i started reading harry potter about 2 weeks before the 6th book came out. I wasnt with the crowd back then when it first came out. Then i had so much time one summer and book 1 to 5 was sitting there waiting for me to read, so i finally read it all and was SO hooked ever since! I even bought all 4 DVD movies on the same night i finished book 5. So i am joining the harry potter world a lot later! BUT luckly i have seen all the movies in the movie theater due to my roomate dragging me along with her! :-D i am actually psyched about the new movie coming out!!


Posted by moonstargazer Nov 16th 2008

I just downloaded the trailer to my windows media player and it looks great! I can't wait il July..Too bad it won't be out this week, I was all set to see it at my local theater here in town. I loved Luna's scene and the scene in the cave with the fire and Harry and Dumbledor in the middle. Really cool special effects I was trying to picture im Broadbent, (I hope that's his name, Jim, that is) as Slughorn with the Walrus mustache, but I see he's clean shaven, in the trailer. All in all I enjoyed seeing it and I'll be watching it quite a few times, now that I have it on my computer! ;0)


Posted by rsst62442 Nov 16th 2008

Great trailer!! Love it and can't wait for the movie! It's weird cause it seems like they're done with it...yet we're waiting until JULY!! But, on the bright side, Twilight comes out in 5 days. And yes, by the way, I AM counting! Lol! And I luv how at the end of the trailer it says "Comong Soon!" Am I the only one who laughed at that? Lol...yeah right. 8 months is not soon.

Awsm Trailer!!! Whoop!!! Can 't wait for the release!


Posted by Sakibou Nov 17th 2008

Wth do they keep releasing trailers? Way to add insult to injury...>.>; In any case, I thought the trailer was very well done. However, I reserve judgement because I thought the same of the PoA trailer, and that was one of my least favorite of the movies. I do have three problems so far, though. The first is from one of the other trailers: the orphanage scene. Specifically, the fact that Riddle didn't seem at all upset about the fact that Dumbledore had lit his armoire on fire. However, that could simply be because they meshed scenes together, so you don't see his reaction to that in the trailer. The other two come from this trailer: Slughorns appearance and Harry and Dumbledore's side-along apparition. For Slughorn, although I think he looks right in the face, he's not anywhere near as fat as I imagined him. I would think the apparition thing speaks for itself. I think the problem is that the director has trouble picturing it, so just does what he sees fit. It's kind of like in GoF, with the portkey thing and everyone floating in the air.


Posted by soccertreize07 Nov 17th 2008

OOOOOHHOOOOHOOOO WOW! That was AMAZING! My heart was racing the whole time I was watching it!


Posted by hpfan4444 Nov 17th 2008

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG *runs around house screeming* This is even better than the Ootp Movie!!!!! SOO AMAZING! I soooo need to go see twilight just to watch this trailer, LOL I'll probably yell "REWIND PLEASE" in the Theater!!


Posted by PotionsMistress Nov 17th 2008

well, we all know it wont follow the books worth crap, we've all ready the reviews, but at least the trailer looked good...however im guessing watching the trailer is watchign every highlight of the film.... -_- anyways, loed hte glimps of snape ^_^ of course i did.... hope theres lots of snape in this film...seeing as he's sort of hte title character...sort of. but again, we all read hte reviews for hte early preview those peopel got and apparently hes hardly in it at all......*shakes head* well...i know hte movie will make me mad, but ill enjoy all the rickman and thewlis clips ^_^


Posted by Renali Nov 17th 2008

Pretty good, gave me goosebumps. Still in my mind the trailer for Prisoner of Azkaban is the best (to date).


Posted by snoopygonewilder Nov 17th 2008

Wow!!! When I saw this, I was "WOW" it was great... sadly no one else in my family was as excited as I was when I saw it, I showed it to my sister, who likes, but does not love Harry Potter like I do. So she said it was nice.... I think it was an amazing trailer... I love Dumbledore and Harry standing on the cliff... Draco, his face was paler than usual, he looked messed up. And I thought it was hilarious when Dumbledore asks Harry at the begging if he's wondering why they are there and Harry answers "Actually, Sir. After all these years I kind of just go along with it." And funnier Ron asking Harry to introduce her to a girl he's supposedly in love with, but has never met. And I bet you all notice; that at the beginning when Dumbledore and Harry apparate, the next scene is they appear in the clock tower, and Dumbledore is leaning on Harry, that's right after they leave the cave on the cliffside... But before I go on forever.... just to say... I LOVED IT... also finally a little Harry and Ginny going on...


Posted by kleigh629 Nov 17th 2008

Okay I am loving these trailers that WB keeps putting out on the Net, but I still am angry that next Friday is the 21st and the movie won't be in theaters. At the rate they are going, why don't they just skip the theater and release the film on the Net? Slowly every piece of the film, by trailer or still photo is being released anyway! Screw the trailers, give us the whole film!!!!


Posted by Plugcollector Nov 17th 2008

Yeah that's right, everybody is thrilled! It's insulting that WB keeps publishing all these photos and trailers to keep us happy and by the time the movie comes out next summer we should be best pals with them again! I'm still boycotting all Warner movies. A trailer 8 months before the movie is released? Come on, this is pure arrogance!


Posted by Feathery_Golden_Snidget Nov 17th 2008

I thought they were going to do something to mourn the fact HBP should have come out tonight at midnight. :P They could have at least posted SOMETHING about it. * cries, and wishes movie were in theaters tonight *


Posted by DeathlyHallows_07 Nov 17th 2008

i cant wait till july--this is killing me. they keep releasing trailers and pictures and its just a great big ol' slap in the face! just release the movie already!!! we should be watching it friday and we have to still wait 8 months. it is so crule to release a trailer(no matter how awsome) 8 months before its relase when it should have been released in 5 days!!! im still furious with WB!


Posted by Feathery_Golden_Snidget Nov 17th 2008

oh,oops. My mistake. I forgot which day the film was supposed to come out. * is embarrassed * Maybe they will do something on Friday for the loss of our movie? A funeral procession, maybe?


Posted by xXxMadzaxXx Nov 18th 2008

OMG this trailer has me even more excited. im sooo sad that i hav to wait another 240 days. the only good thing about twilight is the trailer.


Posted by pottertwilight0627 Nov 18th 2008

This trailer is amazing. My favorite part of it is the bridge scene with "HARRY!!!!!!" yelled. I was listening to MC last nite and it said what was your reaction; Well, my reaction was, 'Oh my goodness, how many trailers are we going to get?' Bring on the HBP trailers WB!!!
